It’s A Washout – Almost

Buoyed with enthusiasm after the golf two days previously the Pattaya Links Golf Society travelled in good spirits to Bangpakong Riverside on Wednesday, 27th June to play a stableford competition on this splendid golf course.

Seven groups made up the field and for six or seven holes conditions were perfect. Then the storm hit. The course became flooded in the deluge and fifteen golfers gave in to the inevitable and chose to abandon the round.

The final three groups decided to see it out and after a break of more than an hour continued in soggy conditions to complete the round.

The competition stood and the scores were excellent. Tip Briney’s 38 points amazingly gave him fifth place only, one behind Mike Ehlert, playing his final round this trip. Third place was decided on countback as Derek Phillips on 40 points lost to Peter Henshaw as the latter took runner up place.

The winner was PLGS debutant Kenny Jepson with an eye-catching 42 points.

Only two near pins survived the “readability” test thus giving Selwyn Yates (4) and Dave Jarvis (7) the awards.

Consolation winners were Peter Bailey for his front nine of 21 points and a very soggy Dave Arataki for his best back nine of 22 points.

Winner ………………Kenny Jepson (29)………..42pts

2^nd Place…………….Peter Henshaw (31)……….40pts c/back

3^rd Place……………..Derek Phillips (20)………..40pts

4^th Place……………..Mike Ehlert (13)…………….39 pts

5^th Place……………..Tip Briney (23)………………38 pts

In the circumstances Mr. Phil decided to ignore any claims for the wig, though the majority of the golfers back in the Links thought it should be retained by the previous winner, Mr. Service! Great mates these lads. Rain – Rain -Rain
